Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for validating variant calls. Sequencing data is received for a sample read along the genomic sequence of interest. An indication is received of a potential variant call at a designated position within the sequence of nucleotides along the genomic sequence of interest. The methods and systems obtain baseline variant frequencies at the designated position within one or more baseline genomic sequences, determine a sample variant frequency at the designated position for the genomic sequence of interest, analyze the baseline and sample variant frequencies at the designated position to obtain a quality score, and validate the potential variant call for the genomic sequence of interest based on the quality score.
